Definition and Architecture MES Strategy and Direction Definition and Architecture
MES Strategy and Direction MES Definition An information technology system(s) that manage(s) manufacturing operations in factories. International standards and models have refined the scope of such systems. Activities typically include: Management of product definitions Management of resources Scheduling Dispatching of production orders Execution of production orders Collection of production data Production performance analysis Production track and trace
MES Strategy and Direction MES Goal Improve productivity and reduce cycle-time--the total time to produce an order. By integrating an MES with ERP software, factory managers can be proactive about ensuring the delivery of quality products in a timely, cost−effective manner
